    Oegb mixes

    Nasty Broody

    Just an fyi update…she tried to murder the first hatchling. I was checking frequently while trying to give her space. She nearly skinned its back and left it cold. I scooped it up and warmed it up, cleaned its wounds and set up an incubator. It’s alive, but it’s back looks terrible and I’m not...

    Nasty Broody

    I have a Golden Sebright hen sitting on day 17 eggs… bantam do they may hatch tomorrow. She’s been diligent setting. Today, she left the nest and chased down the two week old chicks trying to kill them. I’m sure if I hadn’t been there, we would have lost one. I separated her and her eggs, but...

    Rooster cast out

    In that group, 11 hens. (4 sisters born in October.) I lost one in January. The two roosters that remain with dad are smaller and less dominant. This guy is a spitting image of his dad… matured faster than the other two.

    Rooster cast out

    My silkies hatched out 7 chicks in October. 3 of them are roosters. Dad has always been good to all of them. Yesterday, I found the most dominant of the babies (now full grown) hiding, weak and badly bloodied, in a nest box. I removed him, cleaned him up and got him hydrated. The afternoon was a...
